When my life has reached it's very end,
And I take that final breath,
I want to know I've left behind,
Some "good" before my death.

 

I hope that in my final hour,
In all honesty I can say,
That somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.

 

That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face,
And made one moment a little sweeter,
While they dwelled here in this place.

 

Lord, please be my reminder
And whisper softly in my ear...
To be a "giver", not a "taker",
In the years I have left here.

 

Give to me the strength I need,
Open up my mind and my soul.
That I might show sincere compassion,
And love to others before I go.

 

For if not a heart be touched by me,
And not a smile was left behind...
Then the life that I am blessed with,
Will have been a waste of time.

 

With all my heart, I truly hope,
To leave something here on earth.
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life ... worth.

 LET ME GO

 

 

 

 

If I should reach a point in life,

When I am unaware,

Of what is going on around,

And can no longer share…

 

 

In hopes and dreams, and plans we’ve made,

I beg then that you listen,

I ask that you would let me go,

And not shed tears that glisten.

 

For this would be what I would want,

To let me go ahead,

Although my body might be cold,

And your heart full of dread.

 

 

Let me resume my journey then,

That God has planned for me,

Don’t hold me back, but let me go,

Rejoice and know I’m free.

 

 

For love of man is truly shown,

When he can heed the voice,

Of loved one begging, ‘Let me go,’

If he must make that choice.

 

 

I only tell you this because,

It’s something you should know..

I’ll love you till the day God calls,

If I am first to go.

 

 

Let me live on in greatest peace,

Yet know I’m not alone,

Instead I’m simply waiting there,

For God to call you home.

~ Safely Guide Me ~

 

Lord take my hand, safely guide me

 

I don't want to lose my way

 

Take my hand and walk beside me

 

E're I fall along the way....

 

I want to walk the Golden stairs forever

 

I don't want to stray from the fold

 

I don't want to lose my place in your mansion

 

Lift me up, keep me on, the path foretold

 

Help me have compassion for the weary

 

The afflicted, the weak, and the poor

 

Help me love the ones who betray me

 

And remember the cross that you bore.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away...
Life is not a race.

Take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over.
